I graduated from the University of Nottingham with a first class BSc (Hons) in Biotechnology (2011).

I was then awarded a British Heart Foundation named PhD studentship to undertake a PhD in the laboratory of Professor Stephen Wheatcroft and was awarded my PhD in 2015 from the University of Leeds. I worked as a postdoctoral research fellow for Professor Stephen Wheatcroft and then Professor Mark Kearney and I am now currently a Mautner British Heart Foundation Career Development Fellow in Cardiovascular Science within LICAMM.
